May 2026 marked a major milestone for Edmonton with the official reopening of William Hawrelak Park after being closed in early 2023 for three years for a major rehabilitation project. The park underwent an extensive upgrade to its infrastructure, facilities, and open spaces.
A New Chapter for One of Edmonton’s Most Iconic Green Spaces
Long considered one of Edmonton’s most beloved outdoor destinations, Hawrelak Park has been revitalized to better serve residents and visitors while preserving the natural beauty and character that have made it a cornerstone of the city’s river valley for generations.
The redevelopment included significant improvements to pathways, utilities, landscaping, accessibility features, and public gathering areas, creating a more modern, functional, and inclusive space for year-round recreation and events.
Located within Edmonton’s renowned river valley system, Hawrelak Park continues to be a central hub for:
Walking, cycling, and skating
Festivals and cultural events
Paddle sports and outdoor recreation
Family gatherings and picnics
Seasonal activities throughout the year
The reopening represents more than just the return of a popular park — it reflects Edmonton’s ongoing investment in public spaces that promote wellness, accessibility, community connection, and outdoor living.
As Edmonton continues to grow, revitalized spaces like Hawrelak Park play an increasingly important role in enhancing quality of life, encouraging active lifestyles, and strengthening the connection between residents and the city’s natural environment.
With its official reopening in May 2026, Hawrelak Park is once again set to become one of Edmonton’s premier destinations for recreation, community events, and summer experiences in the heart of the river valley.
